| I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys saying we are the bad guys. | ||

|
Damn. | |
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody! | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are, Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Jordan! | ||
| I have a quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today? | ||
| My bright spot today, Jordan, is a combination of two of my great loves. | ||
| As people who listen to the podcast regularly, eagle-eared listeners will know, I have been on a little bit of a rice adventure. | ||
| Mochi, certainly. | ||
| The forbidden rice. | ||
| That is unforbidden. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No, it's forbidden. | ||
| Oh, it's still forbidden? | ||
| Oh, it's re-forbidden? | ||
| Shit. | ||
| And another sort of a little bit of the past love of mine, which is of vinegar. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I'm getting very into vinegar. | ||
| I didn't know that you could, maybe you're supposed to put vinegar in rice when you're cooking it. | ||
| I did not know that either. | ||
| I don't know if you're supposed to, but some people recommend that you do it. | ||
| So I put some vinegar, some fancy garlic vinegar, in with some rice I was cooking last night. | ||
| Alright, alright. | ||
| Pretty good! | ||
| Two great flavors that go great together, Dan! | ||
| Can't be 100% certain it was that much better. | ||
| But it smelled like a garlic while it was cooking. | ||
| Wow, that's fun. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That helps. | ||
| Yeah, there's no problem there. | ||
| It felt like I was doing something. | ||
| And that really counts for a lot. | ||
| Yeah, I think cooking alchemy is a good feeling. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| So I had a pretty nice time with that, making up some rice and vegetables last night. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| Yeah, how about you? | ||
| Dan, my bright spot is that we are doing this episode at all. | ||
| In a very short period of time. | ||
| You're not fired. | ||
| In a very short period of time. | ||
| You turned around an episode, which was amazing. | ||
| Well, we've had a weird couple of days, kind of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| We set out to... | ||
| The plan initially was... | ||
| Because I had kind of a strange schedule and a little bit of a... | ||
| I need a little bit of a step back kind of feel, so I asked you to cover Friday. | ||
| I put together an episode, and we recorded it, and it was okay. | ||
| It was thoroughly okay. | ||
| It was a very interesting exploration of some guys on YouTube. | ||
| I gave it a shot! | ||
| I realized that there's a lot of monotony going on with Alex, and it would be a good time to take a little bit of a break, see something else, and I don't know if I'm really capable of finding new things anymore. | ||
| I brought Alex and Project Camelot to the table, and I'm thrilled that those have worked, and Bill Cooper to some extent, but some of my other efforts have not been great. | ||
| And so I wanted to farm it out to you, and I think you found something No spoilers. | ||
| It's not possible to spoil it. | ||
| It's already been spoiled. | ||
| I was thinking we should just release it the way it was with a half hour that's recorded and then two hours of dead silence. | ||
| No, I mean, it's not dead silence. | ||
| And then call it, Jordan crashed the car. | ||
| Yes, Jordan, get away from the wheel. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yeah, so we recorded it, and somehow, you know, tech glitch, something happened. | ||
| There's audio of us talking for the first half hour, and then after that point, it's just the drops. | ||
| That's almost like one of those coloring book prompts, you know? | ||
| Like, hey, you guys listen to the first half hour of us talking, and then fill in... | ||
| You know what we're gonna say. | ||
| Yeah, you got it. | ||
| Make your own knowledge fight. | ||
| There's gonna be 20 minute stretches where there's nothing. | ||
| There's no audio. | ||
| Yeah, have a nice little chat. | ||
| That's for meditating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Find you. | ||
| Center. | ||
| So, in a period of mere hours, you've put together another episode for us to release, thereby wiping away my failure, only for us to share it for the rest of us. | ||
| No one will ever know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No one will ever know. | |
| Yeah, and, you know, hey man, I don't want you to feel too bad. | ||
| It happens. | ||
| These things happen, and it's not your fault. | ||
| I think the only problem, really, is that puts me at, like, what? | ||
| One out of every five episodes I do disappears? | ||
| That would wipe off a hundred episodes from our tally. | ||
| So it's a good thing you run it. | ||
| Yeah, I'm more used to the sort of troubleshooting, knowing when something's wrong and that kind of thing. | ||
| And I think that, you know, it's no big deal. | ||
| I feel bad for the listeners and for you because, you know, you did... | ||
| Bring something interesting to the table. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And maybe there's something that we'll dip back into later, but certainly not that episode because we can't redo it. | ||
| No, we can't redo that one. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, that one was baffling enough as it is, let alone trying to do it again. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Lost episode. | ||
| Oh, well. | ||
| So, Jordan, today we have an interesting thing to go over that I have scrounged up. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Today we're going to be talking about... | ||
| October 16th, 2014. | ||
| Double down! | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| Double down on 14. What's a double down? | ||
| Like at a blackjack table. | ||
| Jesus Christ! | ||
| You thought of that last night. | ||
| Maybe this morning while I was laying in bed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no way I was supposed to pick up on that one. | |
| Also, bad advice. | ||
| Don't double down on a 14. No, don't double down on a 14. No. | ||
| Very bad blackjack hand. | ||
| Well, I guess it depends on what the dealer has. | ||
| But... | ||
| Yeah, so I decided I wanted to go back to a time before Alex was quite as, I don't know, overtly amphetamined out. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Before the time of Trump, I wanted to get a little bit more of a taste of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And I just sort of scrolled around randomly, and I saw a name in the description of the episode. | ||
| I'm like, alright, here we go. | ||
| And actually, I was listening to this. | ||
| Hauntingly appropriate. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You're a witch. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We've done this too many times for you not to be officially a witch. | ||
| Yeah, I think this might boost some of my credibility as a witch. | ||
| Either that or nothing ever, ever changes, and it is all the same. | ||
| Or everything is the reverse. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Of always the same. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So I'm excited to get down to business on this episode, but before we do, Jordan, we're going to take a moment to say thank you to some folks who have signed up and are wonking it up. | ||
| That's a good idea. | ||
| So first... | ||
| First, this is a two-named person. | ||
| This is a very exciting, rare double alias. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But they're both good, so I'm going to allow it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| The first is North Korean Ballot Boat. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| Piloted by the skipper Roger Stone. | ||
| And the other is Private Chef of Alex's Wife's Tennis Partner. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Next, Captain Details. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much, person I'm not good at emulating. | ||
| Next, Caitlin Dingo Girl. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thanks, Caitlin! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Next, Nutzak, father of Theo, Parker, and Tucker. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, Adrenochrome Annie. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much, Adrenochrome Annie. | ||
| Do you prefer Adrenochrome or Adrenochrome? | ||
| I... | ||
| I prefer adrenochrome. | ||
| I think dren has a nice little more dreadful feel to it. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| It has a sort of phonem similarity, sound similarity. | ||
| Yeah, it feels good. | ||
| I prefer adrenochrome. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| It seems classier. | ||
| Well, yes, I see we have a... | ||
| That clearly illuminates the differences between our personalities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Next, Glitch the Cat. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you, Glitch. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And finally, I'd like to say thank you to someone who is now a technocrat. | ||
| So thank you so much, Raptor King William the Impaler. | ||
| You are now a technocrat. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Crikey, mate. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| Have yourself a brew. | ||
| How's your 401k doing, bro? | ||
| All right, we got to go full tilt boogie on this, Watson, all right? | ||
| Let's just get down to business. | ||
| We ain't making that money off that heroin. | ||
| Why are you pimp so good? | ||
| My neck is freakishly large. | ||
| I declare Infowar on you. | ||
| Thank you so much, Raptor King William the Impaler. | ||
| Yes, thank you very much, R-K-W-I. | ||
| You don't go with the T? | ||
| Never put the the in a... | ||
| I've never put the the in an abbreviation. | ||
| We can agree to disagree on that. | ||
| Always. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| What about that? | ||
| Articles never go in. | ||
| Okay, so Game of Thrones is GT? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Not got? | ||
| There's a reason O is lowercase in that. | ||
| O is simply there as a placeholder. | ||
| Everyone abbreviates Game of Thrones as G-O-T. | ||
| Yeah, and maybe they should. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Hey, Jordan, let me ask you a question. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| Do you ever get spanked on your birthday? | ||
| You ever get birthday spankings? | ||
| Have I ever been birthday spanking? | ||
| I think I was birthday spanked one time as an 11 or 12 year old, and everyone immediately went, no, this wasn't a good idea at all. | ||
| That's gotta be really weird, because you didn't on your 10th birthday. | ||
| It's not like it happened up till then, so it was just a new innovation? | ||
| It was very much like somebody at my birthday party had just heard of birthday spankings and was real excited to try it out, like, ooh, this will be... | ||
| I don't think I've ever... | ||
| I don't think that spankings have ever been a fun thing in our family. | ||
| I don't think it was ever playful. | ||
| No, that's probably... | ||
| That's true of my family. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But there are some people who are celebrating a birthday. | ||
| Okay, well let's spank the shit out of them! | ||
|
unidentified
|
We like to give them a little bit of spanking by way of the podcast. | |
| All wonks line up. | ||
| Wait a second. | ||
| All wonks line up for the birthday spanking. | ||
| I think I might have gone down the wrong road with this setup, but earlier this week on Monday, Pat had a birthday, and we wanted to say happy birthday to you, Pat. | ||
| Oh, happy birthday, Pat. | ||
| Sorry we missed that on Monday, but I'm not great with inboxes. | ||
| Also tomorrow, Greg G. Out in Cary NC, North Carolina. | ||
| GG and NC? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right. | ||
| Having a birthday. | ||
| Happy birthday, Greg. | ||
| Happy birthday, GG. | ||
| I hope you're having a good one out there, and I hope, Pat, you had a great one on Monday. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Happy birthdays. | ||
| Happy birthdays. | ||
| Blow out those candles and make a wish. | ||
| Spanx all around. | ||
| I was trying to transition to candle talk instead of spanking because I realized it's a little weird. | ||
| Well, what are you going to do? | ||
| I'm going to get into this episode. | ||
| That's a good transition. | ||
| So, Jordan, October 16th, 2014, what do you know was going on around that time? | ||
| You have a feeling? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| 2014, I would have just woken up from a three-year sleep. | ||
| Or a fugue state, if you will. | ||
| Rip Van Winkle over here. | ||
| So I was just welcoming awareness once again, and I had moved to Bloomingdale, Illinois. | ||
| Gorgeous one-bedroom apartment. | ||
| This episode is shockingly mostly about residential pricing in Bloomingdale. | ||
| All I'm saying is those are the only things I remember from 2014. | ||
| This is surprisingly right in your wheelhouse. | ||
| I may be a witch. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| No, in October it was Ebola season. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| It was during the middle of the period where... | ||
| There were a couple cases of Ebola here in the United States. | ||
| The primary patient, the first patient that came into the United States, had passed away. | ||
| And we are right on the cusp of... | ||
| The second nurse who had treated him has been diagnosed now with Ebola. | ||
| So we're remembering when a possible pandemic was averted. | ||
| Yeah, and we have done an episode, I think two years ago, about the first day when there was a case in the United States and Alex's response to it. | ||
| And it's really interesting to take a little bit of a look and see It's interesting. | ||
| I would say his trajectory has a lot of similarities and a lot of differences. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's what made this particularly fascinating for me. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| We're going to start off with him talking about some sort of fear-ish narratives. | ||
| I'm your host, Alex Jones. | ||
| They are telling 911 dispatchers, Fox Television out of D.C. is reporting not to say Ebola over the radio or when they're basically talking about a call that they're on. | ||
| We have Obama saying there's nothing to fear, that it's a low probability that an epidemic will start in the U.S. Traveled all over the place on aircraft and that the plane was not even cleaned. | ||
| That is wiped down. | ||
| They picked up the trash on the floor, but not a deep clean for five more flights after she was on it. | ||
| Five more flights. | ||
| So this story that Alex is opening the show with about the 911 dispatchers not being allowed to say Ebola on the radio is not from Fox DC. | ||
| Fox DC did run a story about it with the headline that Alex is reading, but that article is just a link to the original story, which is from the New York Post. | ||
| The reasoning behind this... | ||
| Trustworthy New York Post. | ||
| But the reasoning makes total sense. | ||
| There's tons of people who aren't first responders who listen in on emergency radio channels, and you could easily Mm-hmm. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| like you can't say bomb on an airplane, we can't say Ebola. | ||
| Back in the 80s and 90s, taking universal precautions meant someone had AIDS. | ||
| We weren't allowed to say Dr. Jay Varma, the Deputy Commissioner of the City Department of Health, gave some idea of how many opportunities there had been for false panics to start. | ||
| Quote, we have now had about 133 calls since July concerning patients with possible Ebola symptoms, and all 133 were false alarms. | ||
| That's, uh, well, alarming. | ||
| Yeah, and people listening in could have taken any one of those 133 and, like, tried to... | ||
| You could definitely get into a fear-mongering panic where somebody like Alex Jones convinces you that you need to buy survival food. | ||
| Yeah, so from an emergency response perspective, I do see how it could be best practices to use language that wouldn't necessarily be exploitable by people who... | ||
| May have ill will and are listening in on your communications. | ||
| Right, which is unfortunate because, boy, it would be nice if we were just allowed to say words. | ||
| Or even, let me even walk what I'm saying back. | ||
| It's not even necessarily people with ill will. | ||
| Some people could just get confused. | ||
| Or just panic entirely. | ||
| Just already be paranoid. | ||
| So as for that nurse story, that was true, sort of. | ||
| It's true that she did fly. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The day before she was diagnosed with Ebola. | ||
| But experts don't believe that it was as big a deal as it sounds. | ||
| The first reason is that at the time of her flying, she wasn't exhibiting symptoms that would put people at high risk, like vomiting. | ||
| Even so, Thomas Frieden, then the director of the CDC, was clear that, quote, she should not have flown on a commercial airplane. | ||
| And he immediately put in place guidelines that anyone who had been exposed to somebody with Ebola would only travel by way of controlled movement like private flights. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Immediate? | ||
| Well, prior to that, this was just recommended by the CDC. | ||
| But after, quote, the agency would work with state and local authorities to enforce this restriction. | ||
| I found a Washington Post article about this, and it seems to directly contradict Alex's claims about there being five more flights before the plane was cleaned. | ||
| From that article, quote, And then when we found out she had Ebola, we blew that shit to the moon. | ||
| We exploded it all over the fucking place. | ||
| After that, the plane received a thorough cleaning per our normal procedures before resuming service Tuesday, Frontier said in a statement. | ||
| I was able to find the article that Alex is misrepresenting. | ||
| There is a piece in the Denver Post of the headline, quote, As it turns out, the airline did send notification to the people who were on the same plane that the nurse had flown on, but it wasn't because they hadn't cleaned it. | ||
| It was out of an abundance of caution. | ||
| The plane had been cleaned, but later the nurse was diagnosed with Ebola, and by that point that anyone knew anything, the plane had already flown five additional flights the next day. | ||
| Informing the customers is definitely the right thing to do in terms of making sure everyone's informed. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Even if you followed every preventative appropriate step, it's still above board to tell people. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So they can make their own choices from a healthcare perspective. | ||
| Not telling people would be a far greater scandal for you. | ||
| If everybody found out a week later, they'd be like, fuck you guys! | ||
| It would be wrong. | ||
| It would be negligent. | ||
| This article points out that after this nurse was diagnosed, the plane was going to undergo even further cleaning, quote, including replacement of seat covers and carpet in the vicinity of the passenger's seat. | ||
| But this still doesn't support Alex's all they did was pick up trash narrative. | ||
| I think he's just trying to scare people. | ||
| I think we should treat all diseases like the Velveteen Rabbit and just immediately burn everything involved. | ||
| Everywhere. | ||
| I think that might be going a little bit. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| The plane, the airport, everything. | ||
| The whole place. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All stocks and bonds in the airline. | ||
| We've seen what it's like to live through a pandemic. | ||
| We have not seen what it's like to burn everything to the ground in case one starts. | ||
| I'm just saying that we should go the other direction. | ||
| You make some interesting points. | ||
| I would love to live in a world where we still have a pandemic and then also everything is burning. | ||
| Great. | ||
| That would probably be an issue. | ||
| You're probably right. | ||
| So Alex is covering this news and I will say he has... | ||
| A classy take. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He's dealing with things in a really... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Just a newsman. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We are the Ebola vomit bag. | ||
| The Obama... | ||
| Excuse me, Ebola toilet. | ||
| You know, memes are very, very powerful. | ||
| And that's why we've launched this contest that's only running for another week. | ||
| Go to Infowars.com forward slash contest, print off the flyers, hang them up, shoot video of it, send us the video, we'll post it, and then a week later on Halloween, I will announce the winner. | ||
| Hashtag Ebola contest. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| Hashtag Ebola contest. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| Hashtag Ebola contest. | ||
| And his contest, as best I can tell, is he has posters that are advertising for Infowars, and you record yourself. | ||
| Putting them up places or something? | ||
| This is a weird contest. | ||
| I'm going to be honest. | ||
| Hey, could you be my street team? | ||
| I think what we've realized here is that Alex is paid by big disease in order to spread disease. | ||
| Man, it's really weird. | ||
| You would think that... | ||
| Somebody engaging responsibly with the topics they were covering wouldn't be like, hey, let me try and use this as a cheap stunt meme promotional opportunity. | ||
| Here's a possible pandemic that could murder and incapacitate millions of people. | ||
| We need a contest to advertise my shit based on that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah! | ||
| That's a good dude. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, to Alex's credit, or not, I'm not sure. | ||
| I'll let you decide. | ||
| He doesn't spend the entire show talking about Ebola. | ||
| Well, that's nice. | ||
| He also gets around to some nonsense narratives about how Christians are under attack. | ||
| Oh, that's good. | ||
| We have just absolutely over-the-top important news on the Ebola front, on the economic front, on the Second Amendment front, on the police state front, with Houston literally trying to intimidate churches. | ||
| And to not giving sermons that criticize transsexual behavior or homosexuality. | ||
| And a lot of libertarian groups have been coming out, and even though they are open to other lifestyles, because they're libertarians, they are defending these preachers, because if you're going to have your right to live the way you want, somebody else has to have their right to live and speak as they see fit. | ||
| Flaming authoritarianism, pun intended, out of the Houston mayor and the rest of them. | ||
| At best, that's wordplay. | ||
| Suing churches. | ||
| This is what Europe and Canada are doing. | ||
| This is the model. | ||
| Everything you see with political correctness out of Europe and Canada is coming here. | ||
| They arrest preachers that criticize homosexuality. | ||
| So this isn't going to surprise you, but Alex is lying about this story. | ||
| Yeah, I'm not surprised. | ||
| Here's what happened. | ||
| In 2014, Houston passed an equal rights ordinance that included protections for members of the LGBTQ community in terms of housing, employment, and what have you. | ||
| This was on the vanguard of the right-wing panic about trans people in bathrooms, so one of the hot-button issues was that, according to an article in the Washington Post. | ||
| Quote, transgender people barred access to a restroom would be able to file a discrimination complaint. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's worth noting that religious entities were also exempted from this ruling, so they weren't even... | ||
| So they weren't even involved. | ||
| Right. | ||
| A group of citizens filed a lawsuit aimed at repealing the ordinance, and as part of that lawsuit, quote, city attorneys issued subpoenas to five local pastors during the case's discovery phase. | ||
| These pastors were alleged to have connections to the people who filed the lawsuit and were active in the effort to repeal the ordinance. | ||
| So the attorneys requested "all speeches, presentations, or sermons related to hear row, that's the ordinance, the petition, Mayor Anise Parker, homosexuality or gender identity prepared by, delivered by, revised by, or approved by you or in your possession. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The question that was being posed by these subpoenas were whether or not these pastors were using their churches as political organizing grounds, which would put their tax-exempt status in jeopardy, since tax-exempt churches, quote, are not allowed. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| By October 16th, the day that Alex is here on air, controversy had been raging about this, and the subpoena was revised to just ask for, quote, all speeches or presentations related to HERO or the petition prepared by, delivered by, revised by, or approved by you or in your possession. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And as we know, now that we live in the future, the government really cracked down on that, and churches were no longer allowed to advocate for political positions from the pulpit. | ||
| That would just be wrong, Dan. | ||
| Didn't you see so many churches across this country after Trump was elected? | ||
| Didn't you see them lose their 501c3 status all over the place for advocating for political positions? | ||
| It's just terrible. | ||
| Anyway, this is a complex topic that gets into a lot of those issues more than anything else. | ||
| And, you know, you could make an argument that there was overreach and over-broadness in terms of the subpoenas that were put out by the city attorneys. | ||
| I think that is a Fair position you could take. | ||
| But Alex is reporting this as like they're suing these churches. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| Someone sued the city and the city is doing discovery. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Anyway, he just wants to take this and, you know, he wants to boil it down into a misrepresentation that's easier for his audience to understand and, more importantly, be mad about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Just trying to make it about. | ||
| Fucking out of control PC culture. | ||
| It's nonsense. | ||
| It would be nice if Christ had lived and just been super cool. | ||
| Because then maybe Christians wouldn't constantly feel like playing the victim is the only way to deal with life. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What if Christ was just a cool dude? | ||
| What if Christ was just like the Buddha and he got old and everybody was like, man, you kicked ass. | ||
| Good work. | ||
| That would be great. | ||
| He invented hang loose. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| First person to say cowabunga. | ||
| So, Jordan, I gotta say, one of the things I didn't expect on this episode as I was getting into it, because Ebola is a pretty big topic and it certainly has mirrors and echoes in our current COVID-19 situation. | ||
| What I didn't expect is a large portion of this episode would end up becoming a movie review. | ||
| That I... | ||
| Believe? | ||
| And did expect? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was a little bit surprised. | ||
| Is he still on Oblivion? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Okay. | ||
| The movie review is about the movie Kill the Messenger, about Gary Webb. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's very personal for Alex. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because he apparently knew Gary Webb. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| I did not know that. | ||
| No! | ||
| This might be a little too personal. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alex seems to be dealing with some stuff after watching this movie. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he might make a confession that, first of all, I don't believe is true. | ||
| But if true proves that Alex Jones is the worst fucking outlaw radio truth teller whistleblower guy, listen to this bullshit. | ||
| I went and saw Kill the Messenger last night, and I expected it to be a whitewash. | ||
| I expected it to imply that he killed himself, and it was absolute truth, because I remember Gary Webb been on the show more than ten times. | ||
| I had all these incredible conversations with Gary Webb off-air. | ||
| He wanted me to build a website for him. | ||
| He sent me all these documents that the CIA had broken in his house a bunch to try to get. | ||
| I was too busy making films and making babies with my wife. | ||
| I remember he called back the last time I talked to him, a few months before he committed suicide. | ||
| And he said, hey man, Alex, I thought you had the courage to put this up and do something. | ||
| And I said, yeah, there's thousands of pages of this stuff. | ||
| And a lot of this is court records and stuff. | ||
| And I go, I guess I'll put it out. | ||
| But he goes, well, I thought you got balls. | ||
| I mean, these are epic conversations I had with Gary Webb. | ||
| Now a hit movie out about him. | ||
| And it was so surreal to be sitting there in the movie theater. | ||
| I ignored that guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And knowing his whole story, and it was so accurate, I am baffled by this movie review. | |
| I think there's a small part of Alex that's pissed off that he's not in the movie. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then second, it's very weird that he's like, yeah, you know what? | ||
| I had that dude giving me all this secret documentation that the CIA was trying to kill him for having. | ||
| I was busy. | ||
| I didn't do shit with it. | ||
| I was making babies with my wife, so I wasn't interested in those thousands of CIA coveted documents that would blow the lid off of everything. | ||
| But come on, guys! | ||
| She's ovulating! | ||
| What am I gonna do? | ||
| I do think this isn't true. | ||
| I think that his story is not true. | ||
| But it's interesting the way he gets himself off the hook for having not broken things. | ||
| He's like, I was busy making documentaries! | ||
| I was busy breaking other stories. | ||
| I didn't have time for this. | ||
| So let me ask you a question. | ||
| In the beginning, I thought I heard him say, I thought they were going to whitewash it and heavily imply that he didn't. | ||
| Which he did. | ||
| And then he said, which suggests to me that he thinks he didn't. | ||
| Yeah, Alex thinks that he didn't. | ||
| But then later on, he said, a few days before he committed suicide. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Alright, so... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That might have just been Alex's, like, sort of subconscious sneaking through and being like, you know. | ||
| You know he killed himself. | ||
| He wasn't murdered. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| So, you know, one of the reasons I think this is all bullshit is this. | ||
| I'm not even here bragging, oh my gosh, this show's important. | ||
| I felt incredibly guilty that I don't even know where that disc is, that CD-ROM that I opened up, but it was just, I don't even know how to process all this stuff. | ||
| I need to tear apart our storage buildings and find that. | ||
| And then I don't even want to talk about how I had that disc. | ||
| You should organize your storage buildings. | ||
| Killing people over this stuff. | ||
| And then I went and searched last night when I got home. | ||
| I went to bed, then I woke up in the middle of the night and went and searched for like an hour at 3 a.m., 4 a.m., and I couldn't even find one interview I did with Gary Webb. | ||
| Kind of makes me think maybe you didn't interview him. | ||
| I mean, I bet he did. | ||
| I could see that absolutely having happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| But like, I wonder, at a certain point, you kind of got to wonder, it's like... | ||
| Are you... | ||
| Did you imagine all of this? | ||
| Did you dream this? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Did you have a quiet conversation with Gary Webb in your head? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, you have the CIA to kill anybody who has all this information. | ||
| And Alex has the CD-ROM that Gary Webb had given him. | ||
| CIA was following him. | ||
| They wouldn't know that he made the handoff with Alex. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| But the CIA's like, fuck it. | ||
| Alex is just going to lose it. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| He's got a... | ||
| It's in an AOL sheath. | ||
| We don't need to worry about this. | ||
| That fucking dude doesn't even have a file cabinet. | ||
| Look, I was surveilling him the other night. | ||
| He's just too busy fucking his wife. | ||
| They're trying to make babies. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| He just doesn't have time to... | ||
| It's not even like that disc. | ||
| It's not even in an AOL sleeve. | ||
| It's in a Moody Blues album cover that he is just lost. | ||
| He's never going to find that thing. | ||
| It's a 16-bit floppy. | ||
| That's what he's got. | ||
| This is weird. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I put myself even in the foot shoes. | ||
| The foot shoes. | ||
| The foot shoes. | ||
| Of Alex. | ||
| I imagine. | ||
| When there was only one set of foot shoes, that's when I was carrying you, Dad. | ||
| That's when I was carrying Gary Wynn. | ||
| I feel like if there was a bone of authenticity in Alex's body, the second that the guy who wrote Dark Alliance is giving you a CD of secret documents, you drop everything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is a priority. | ||
| Do you remember when Snowden released shit? | ||
| Every news organization was like, okay, we're going to put 15 people on this. | ||
| We're all going to read every single one of these documents, and we're going to write stories about it immediately. | ||
| Greenwald wasn't like, I'm making police state 2000. | ||
| I'm busy. | ||
| I'm sorry, guys. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm adopting kids with... | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| What am I supposed to do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Have you ever tried to adopt kids in America from Brazil? | |
| I don't want to shit on the idea of prioritizing family and what have you. | ||
| That's all good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| If you're somebody who fancies yourself an investigative journalist whose mission it is to get to the bottom of the nefarious doings of the globalists, this behavior strikes me as very out of character. | ||
| Hey, the tip of the spear was busy elsewhere, if you know what I'm saying. | ||
| That spear was... | ||
| So there's a sense that I got from listening to this that like... | ||
| Alex seems to think that that movie might be about him. | ||
| And then watching how they demonized him and how they tried to kill his name before they physically killed him, and experiencing a lot of this myself, it was a surreal... | ||
| I've never gone and seen a movie where, from what I know, it was so incredibly accurate and so incredibly sad, and then I resonated with it. | ||
| Because they always make it about the individual. | ||
| If they can't disprove your facts, they just demonize and destroy the individual themselves. | ||
| And I got a sick feeling in my stomach as I realized that the clocks just tick until they come and shoot me in the head twice. | ||
| Or plant drugs on me or shoot me at a checkpoint or something. | ||
| And it made me sad to watch all the cowards, his editors. | ||
| Like you? | ||
| You literally said that you didn't have... | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I'm so sad for watching this movie where he's cowards. | |
| He gave all those documents to those editors and they didn't do shit with him! | ||
| They told him we're not gonna put those out! | ||
| He gave a CD-ROM to every one of his editors! | ||
| A little bit of an asshole- A bunch of cowards! | ||
| A little bit of an asshole-ish review. | ||
| I mean, I was just doing a documentary. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I'm not a coward. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hey, look, I don't get into Shadowgate. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Look, I don't get into that kind of deep shit. | ||
| Turns out that behavior has been pretty consistent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think he might be faking a lot of this. | |
| I think he might be. | ||
| So, we get back to Ebola here, and this clip to me was actually one of the more interesting glimpses into how Alex operates in these circumstances. | ||
| The people that are supposed to be cleaning the aircraft are told that they can't wear masks and gloves. | ||
| Aircraft coming in out of West Africa, in some cases with vomit in them. | ||
| Because it'll, quote, scare people. | ||
| We're going to get to those articles in a moment. | ||
| Experts offer steps for avoiding public hysteria, a different contagious threat. | ||
| So we've been talking about the hysteria being a bigger problem than Ebola itself. | ||
| Well, now the New York Times is reporting on it today. | ||
| I just thought that the juxtaposition of those two stories is fascinating. | ||
| In the first one, Alex is claiming that vomit-filled airplanes are arriving in the United States from West Africa and not being cleaned, obviously trying to create the impression in his audience's mind there are so many more cases of Ebola in the United States than we're being told. | ||
| Correct. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a narrative that can really only lead to people freaking out and behaving irrationally. | |
| But the New York Times says this. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And Alex, he's saying... | ||
| Then, that Infowars has been saying all along that public hysteria is a bigger problem. | ||
| Don't freak out about this! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Ebola's everywhere, but freaking out is crazy! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How can he possibly not understand that everything he does exists only to heighten hysteria? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yelling about how the border is wide open and vomit planes are arriving is not only factually untrue, but it's also designed to scare people. | ||
| Alex understands that, and it's one of the things that he does on his show that I think is incredibly abusive. | ||
| It's that trying to push and pull simultaneously in people's minds, and it's not good. | ||
| No, he's in a weird, almost like, experiment of... | ||
| His experiment to me of listening to his show would be somebody sitting in a chair strapped down and every five minutes just a little jolt is given to the emotional center of their brain. | ||
| And you just have to sit there for four hours and feel this constant emotional pressure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In my experience, I don't think... | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's not wrong. | |
| It's not that far off. | ||
| I disconnect from it so it doesn't affect me as much listening to it. | ||
| You remove that little part of your brain. | ||
| Well, I imagine that that part of the brain would be very antagonized if you believed anything he said. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| Since I don't, I'm a little bit immune. | ||
| You got rubber on your brain. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex is kind of right in some sense that public hysteria is a very serious concern when it comes to public health matters. | ||
| It's just that in this case, he's one of the most hysterical voices you can imagine. | ||
| It's nonsense. | ||
| No, and it's cruel. | ||
| It's cruel to be like, hey, hysteria is crazy. | ||
| And you're gonna die! | ||
| Like, okay, man. | ||
| But maybe not. | ||
| You won't die. | ||
| Maybe not. | ||
| But the government's killing you! | ||
| But maybe not. | ||
| Now hold on. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| I thought, listening to the original episode... | ||
| About this period of time in the Ebola situation. | ||
| And listening to the beginning of this episode, I thought, you know, this is horrible. | ||
| This is irresponsible. | ||
| And then I think it's kind of tasteless to have this Ebola meme contest. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| But I didn't think it was that weird. | ||
| It's not weird enough for Alex Jones. | ||
| And here's where it gets weird. | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| They first said that it was her fault and she shouldn't have done it. | ||
| But now it's admitted. | ||
| In NBC News, that Ebola patient who contacted the CDC before a flight agency says was told that she could fly even though she was an Ebola nurse and even though she told him she had a fever. | ||
| By the way, I treated the guy that has Ebola and I'm sick. | ||
| Can I fly? | ||
| You can fly. | ||
| That's like saying, my dog has rabies. | ||
| And it's foaming at the mouth. | ||
| Should I put it into a schoolyard of kids? | ||
| Yes, put the dog with rabies into the schoolyard. | ||
| Or I found a bat crawling around hissing on the ground. | ||
| Should I pick it up and kiss it? | ||
| Yes, that's a good idea. | ||
| There's a cliff by my house, a thousand feet to a jagged bottom. | ||
| Should I jump off without a parachute? | ||
| Yes, jump off immediately. | ||
| Ring. | ||
| Hi, I'm a nurse that treated the Ebola patient CDC. | ||
| Uh-huh, uh-huh. | ||
| Yeah, we know who you are. | ||
| Yeah, you're all over the news. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm going to fly. | ||
| Of course, this time it wasn't on the news. | ||
| It's just been around an Ebola patient. | ||
| So I was treating an Ebola patient. | ||
| I'm going to fly. | ||
| I have a fever. | ||
| Oh, but dearie, that's a great idea. | ||
| They're not just turning off the defaults. | ||
| They're sending the Ebola kids to school. | ||
| They're not cleaning up the apartment. | ||
| Something weird is going on. | ||
| And why are nurses getting it, but the family isn't getting it? | ||
| Either they're covering up that they have it, CIA whistleblower said back in the middle of last month here, Mr. Steele, maybe we should cue that clip up later. | ||
| He said he believed they would release a biological simulant that wasn't Ebola, but would make people sick or even kill them to create a false flag. | ||
| There we go! | ||
| It's a false flag! | ||
| Possibly. | ||
| Hold on, is that Mr. Steele our buddy? | ||
| That's Robert David Steele. | ||
| Oh yeah, it is. | ||
| Oh yeah, it is. | ||
| I was about to say, yep, that one's got the... | ||
| Multiple time Project Camelot guest who Alex had to disavow after he claimed on Infowars that the globalists had children enslaved on Mars bases. | ||
| Robert David Steele. | ||
| That dude's credibility is incredible. | ||
| Incredibly low. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, you know what? | ||
| When you can't disprove his facts, Dan, you try and go after the guy. | ||
| And I can clearly see you just taking this to a personal place. | ||
| You can't prove that it's not a bioweapon? | ||
| Sure, not my job. | ||
| Steele had been on Alex's show in September to speculate about the possibility of a false flag Ebola attack, but the fact that he was creating narratives about Ebola at that point isn't really all that weird. | ||
| The first case in West Africa from this outbreak was reported in December 2013, and by March 2014, there was spreading happening. | ||
| By July, it had reached the capital cities of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, and according to the CDC, quote, This was the first time Ebola extended out from more isolated rural areas and into densely populated urban centers, providing an unprecedented opportunity for transmission. | ||
| So Ebola is on the brain as far as any infectious disease is concerned. | ||
| By August, there were Ebola scares being reported to hospitals in the United States. | ||
| According to the advisory board's timeline, quote, Before the end of the month, more than 60 hospitals reported some type of scare to the CDC, but none of the tests sent to the agency returned positive for the virus. | ||
| So at this point, it was in people's minds. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| No, that's what you would be talking about. | ||
| If you were going to say there's an infectious disease coming to the United States, you're going to say Ebola. | ||
| It's 100% what you would do. | ||
| Yeah, you're not going to be like, it's the flu. | ||
| No, everybody's thinking about Ebola and is worried about it. | ||
| Robert David Steele had every reason to shoot the shot when he did. | ||
| There was growing insecurity around the outbreak, and it was affecting the psyche of the American public. | ||
| If a case did end up coming to the United States, Yeah, exactly. | ||
| As for the story about the nurse on the plane, Alex isn't making up that NBC News reported that she did in fact check in with the CDC before getting on the plane. | ||
| The problem is that Alex is acting like the CDC has a staff of like 12 people and everyone knows everything that's going on. | ||
| This very article that Alex is referencing explains how everything happened. | ||
| At the time, it was believed that this nurse had worn all the appropriate protective of gear, and as such, she was considered a lower-risk category of person, technically titled, quote, uncertain risk. | ||
| Before she flew, the nurse called the CDC and talked to a staffer who quote, looked on the agency's website for guidance, the spokesperson said. | ||
| The category for uncertain risk has guidance saying a person could fly commercially if they did not meet the threshold of a temperature of 100.4. | ||
| She had a slight fever, but it was below that reading, so technically she wouldn't have been barred from flying. | ||
| Director Frieden didn't know that she had contacted the CDC when he made his comment that she shouldn't have flown. | ||
| From the NBC News article, quote, the spokesperson says he believes Frieden said that because it should have been common sense to Vincent that she should not fly with a slight temperature. | ||
| Even though we have a CDC guideline that says you're fine. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, look, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to defend all of that. | ||
| It's bungled. | ||
| I mean, it's him kind of saying that the CDC is wrong, not her. | ||
| Probably, yeah. | ||
| We need better guidelines. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| This guideline is clearly... | ||
| Oversight of some kind. | ||
| Yeah, I can't see anything more responsible if you are this person than literally going direct to the CD fucking C. Yeah. | ||
| Not going to the website. | ||
| I think it also frustrates me a little bit. | ||
| The staffer went to the website. | ||
| The staffer went to the website. | ||
| I don't like that at all. | ||
| That's not lost on me either. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's not good. | |
| I don't like that at all. | ||
| No. | ||
| Seems like maybe, in this case, you should have rotted up the flagpole. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I see no fault of hers at all. | ||
| Other than just being like, why are you flying? | ||
| I see bases being covered in terms of like, clearly no one was acting with malicious intent. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| And there wasn't even overt negligence. | ||
| It's just, this is... | ||
| How an oversight can happen. | ||
| Yeah, maybe we should revise our guidelines. | ||
| It seems like, basically what I'm saying is iffy decisions happened. | ||
| But it makes sense how everything happened the way it did. | ||
| There's certainly not enough here to justify speculating this is a false flag outbreak. | ||
| I would argue the details would suggest anything but a false flag. | ||
| Yeah, and Jordan, I don't know if you're picking up on this, but from where I'm sitting, that sounds hysterical as shit. | ||
| Ah, why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, God. | |
| Look, false flags happen. | ||
| Honestly, it's more hysterical for it to not be a false flag because then it's something surprising. | ||
| As we know, false flags happen every day. | ||
| Does this sound hysterical? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Also, does this sound familiar? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let's continue here. | ||
| 911 emergency dispatchers instructed not to say Ebola over the radio. | ||
| That's out of Fox News, D.C. They're being told not to create panic and are being given a secret code to describe Ebola. | ||
| See, the cover-up's already on. | ||
| As I said, Ebola probably is already spreading in the U.S. They had to let it in and let it breed first, and then they'll say they don't know where it all began or where it started, and oh, it's all Obama's fault. | ||
| And it's going to bring in a medical tyranny, forced inoculation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Dedicated to population reduction and the Monsanto vaccine they produced. | ||
| I'm going to say that again. | ||
| Bill Gates, we keep warning you about, people are like, why do you know about Bill Gates so much? | ||
| Because I've studied him. | ||
| He wants to put an Ebola shot in you. | ||
| You think that's going to be good for you? | ||
| God, it's exactly the same. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's shockingly the same. | |
| Yep. | ||
| And that probably felt just as real to his audience in 2014 as it does to people listening to him now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| It's outrageous. | ||
| It's just that circumstances were handled differently. | ||
| And, of course, Ebola and COVID-19 are different. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| They transmit differently. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| They require different responses. | ||
| I heard that. | ||
| I was like, this is amazing. | ||
| It's almost a script. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It almost felt like you could just take Ebola out and put COVID or coronavirus in and it would have just been exactly the same. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| It is kind of... | ||
| Seven years ago. | ||
| It is, I think, illustrative of the level of power that Alex and his ilk had in 2020. | ||
| As opposed to in 2019. | ||
| That level of influence was far lesser, and their effect was far lesser. | ||
| It's hard not to look at this as a... | ||
| And it's not, again... | ||
| There are different diseases. | ||
| It's not a one-to-one comparison by any stretch. | ||
| But it is hard not to look at the difference between 2014 and 2019 and think no one should be held accountable for, at the very least, negligence. | ||
| You know? | ||
| This is truly a fucked up thing that people need to be held accountable for. | ||
| Well, I think that one of the differences that you see is that people responded kind of more appropriately to people like Alex at that time. | ||
| At least people who are actually making decisions and being adults would be like, oh, I don't care. | ||
| And the president wasn't repeating things Alex said. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So that's nice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think it was better. | ||
| One could make that argument. | ||
| I'm gonna. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't think it would be a hard one to convince me of. | ||
| So now, if you're somebody who's, I don't know, in the past, and you're listening to Alex, and you're taking some of the stuff that he's saying about Ebola seriously, I would say, like, maybe you should hear this and be like, I'm going to turn this off. | ||
| I mean, I hate to get gross here, but you've heard about the phenomenon in government buildings suddenly, that people are peeing on the walls and going to the bathroom in cubby holes and in the hallways, even though the bathrooms are working perfectly fine, and smearing it all over the walls. | ||
| This is what mental patients do. | ||
| This is what people who are above the law start doing. | ||
| Is that a metaphor? | ||
| Running around, going to the bathroom as poop bandits, as they're known. | ||
| This is what has now happened. | ||
| This is what's happening. | ||
| Just poop bandits. | ||
| The government is so out of control and drunk on power that they are poop bandits now. | ||
| Hold on, hold on. | ||
| I just literally wrote a screenplay. | ||
| Give me one second. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| So, I didn't know what Alex was talking about, and this seemed really silly, so I decided to look into it and see if I could figure it out. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I figured it out. | ||
| So, in late August 2014, there were some stories going around about a particular EPA office in Denver, which had, quote, been beset by roughly a dozen suspected incidents of... | ||
| Restroom shenanigans since late 2013, according to emails, memorandums, and incident reports. | ||
| Restroom shenanigans. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That's fun. | ||
| Apparently someone was fucking around and clogging toilets with paper and putting shit in the hallway. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Getting up to all sorts of disgusting nonsense. | ||
| This was clearly the work of an unstable individual who worked at that office. | ||
| Yeah, who is this fucking guy? | ||
| But here, Alex is reporting this as some kind of proof of the corrupt decadence of the government elites. | ||
| They're so bored of being tyrants that there's a new phenomenon of everyone shitting in the hallway. | ||
| It's just a weirdo getting his rocks off in a really uncomfortable way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| I love being able to look back in the past and seeing the way that these stories get... | ||
| Twisted by Alex into being so much larger than they actually are. | ||
| He does, in a way, create more fantastical, interesting stories. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because, I mean, it's obviously a fairly interesting story that someone's putting shit in the hallway at an EPA building. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| That's kind of interesting. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's more fun to imagine that... | ||
| Our government is run by demon tyrants who are so bored that they have to shit in the hallway to get off. | ||
| It is kind of funny. | ||
| It implies a lot more interesting stuff is happening. | ||
| See, that's the problem. | ||
| I remember when we lived in a world that wasn't so much like Alex's weird, dark circus versions of government. | ||
| And then we lived in one. | ||
| It was bad. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep, no good. | ||
| So at this point... | ||
| In 2014, you really had, like, gentlemen speak freely kind of vibe going on at InfoWars. | ||
| Oh, that's not good. | ||
| They didn't really have the lawsuits to worry about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right, right. | |
| So things like this happen. | ||
| Why no protective gear for a man with Dallas Ebola patient? | ||
| We have video of this. | ||
| We'll roll some of it in the background. | ||
| The video from CBS News is up on InfoWars.com, PrisonPlanet.com. | ||
| This lends credence to Rob Dew running around the office thinking this is crisis actors. | ||
| Because he's been analyzing video, and he's worked at National TV, Home Shopping Network. | ||
| You know, he used to be a director there. | ||
| And so he knows stage stuff. | ||
| And he says that, you know, why are people not wearing protective gear with the Ebola patient, as we have right there? | ||
| And is it people just don't care and they're idiots? | ||
| Or is it staged? | ||
| Or is there a third possibility? | ||
| What would that be? | ||
| So there was a video of people putting that nurse into a plane that was making the rounds, and all but one of the people are wearing hazmat suits. | ||
| It definitely looks like fodder for Alex to make a conspiracy out of and for Rob Dew to use to justify crisis actor theories, but it's not really that crazy when you get down to it or you ask the question and get an answer from somebody. | ||
| This person in the video is not in any direct contact with the patient, who's wearing her own set of protective gear as well. | ||
| The chances of transmission are incredibly low, based on how Ebola goes from person to person. | ||
| That being said, I wouldn't do what this dude is doing. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| But that's just because of me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it might not be that really fucked up or dangerous. | ||
| This very article that Alex is citing in order to talk about the headline includes this passage. | ||
| Quote, when a member of the Dallas CDC team was shown the video and asked if it was a safe moment or not, he said he didn't have a problem with what he saw. | ||
| The situations apparently met CDC protocol because the people in the hazmat suits were the ones assisting Vincent, and the plainclothes man was not. | ||
| The CDC spokesman said that the man maintained an appropriate distance from the patient for the amount of time on the tarmac, and it must be taken into account that Vincent was also wearing protective gear. | ||
| This is how little some idiot like Rob Dew needs to justify denying people's illnesses and deaths. | ||
| He just needs some video that looks strange that he didn't care to look into at all. | ||
| The thing that I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that we found out from all those depositions is at this point in time... | ||
| Apparently, only PJ Dubs in the entire InfoWarsphere was listening to this going like, Guys. | ||
| This is a bad idea! | ||
| Blokes. | ||
| Stop it, blokes. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| Of all people. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| That might not be true, but it's the only one we know for sure. | ||
| Because there might have been some lower level functionaries who were being like, this is irresponsible. | ||
| There might have been some people who quit, too. | ||
| There might have been some people who got fired. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think it's probably... | ||
| Probably in those people's best interest that we not know. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because for them to be able to bury the part of their lives that they worked there... | ||
| That's important. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Good for them if they've succeeded. | ||
| Yeah, and if they have gone on to live a better life. | ||
| Yeah, let's hope. | ||
| So, it's staged, man. | ||
| This stuff is probably staged. | ||
| I don't think it's staged, but okay. | ||
| I don't know exactly what's going on, but I'll tell you this. | ||
| Most of this is staged. | ||
| It's scripted. | ||
| And they clearly want Ebola to spread. | ||
| Now, you can fill in the blank of why. | ||
| My head is spinning at this point, and I'm trying to contain my anger. | ||
| Even during the breaks, I'm trying to contain it. | ||
| Because I think about how they're trying to bring down this country. | ||
| Now they're trying to kill our prosperity. | ||
| It makes me angry. | ||
| But you don't want people to be hysterical, right? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I mean, I'm furious because they're killing all of us and destroying proper prosperity. | ||
| They clearly are trying to intentionally spread Ebola, possibly by staging things. | ||
| Yeah, but as the New York Times said, hysteria is a big problem, too. | ||
| Well, let's keep it grounded. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, absolutely. | |
| Let's keep this real... | ||
| Let's make sure nobody goes too far. | ||
| And Bloomberg, two days ago, was asking, why weren't they sent to the government facilities that are designed for this? | ||
| Because they want it to spread. | ||
| They want plausible deniability. | ||
| They probably got sleeper cells walking around spreading it. | ||
| I didn't think they'd use Muslim radicals to bring it in before. | ||
| I thought that was just some Islamophobe hype. | ||
| But now it's starting to click that God only knows. | ||
| I think the other shoe is about to drop. | ||
| I think something big is about to happen. | ||
| I've been saying that for months. | ||
| And now you see this breaking loose. | ||
| I think what you're seeing right now might be a diversion for nukes they're about to set off. | ||
| Remember all the missing nukes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| This might be hysterical. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| That might be an issue. | ||
| This might be a little bit hysterical. | ||
| That might be a little bit going too far there. | ||
| Hey, guess what? | ||
| Not only do I believe that the government is intentionally spreading Ebola all over the place, and it's a false flag, it's also a diversion from nukes they're about to drop. | ||
| Listen, I don't know what's going on. | ||
| Let me preface by saying I don't know what's going on. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now let me certainly describe a false flag attack that, and honestly, I'm going to go with a 50-50 shot. | ||
| It's a diversion, and you're all going to die. | ||
| Immediately. | ||
| Let me go over the top in a comically scary scenario that I'm painting for you as a very distinct possibility based on my years of research about how these globalists operate. | ||
| Also, this whole Islamophobic thing, I was like, oh no, I'm not going to engage in Islamophobia. | ||
| But then I saw a video where a guy was walking on a tarmac, so obviously it's the Islamic people's fault. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| So he's going down this road, you know, like hysteria about Ebola, and then also they're going to nuke you. | ||
| Man, we're just in trouble. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| I mean, it is just, we have enemies in control. | ||
| There is no doubt that we are in the most grave danger this country has faced in 240 years, and I just got hardcore chills. | ||
| I got goosebumps on my face right now that the camera can probably pick up. | ||
| They are getting ready to drop the hammer. | ||
| This is the takedown of the country. | ||
| I'm getting my immune system ready. | ||
| I know that. | ||
| Infowarslife.com. | ||
| Boom! | ||
| I'm getting my immune system ready. | ||
| Infowarslife.com. | ||
| Boom! | ||
| See, now that is a good... | ||
| That's a good little super transition there. | ||
| That's a good little ad switch. | ||
| Compared to what he does now... | ||
| It kind of hurts the preceding passage for me. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| The insanely out-of-control fear-mongering that led up to that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Kind of. | ||
| Well, there's that. | ||
| The relationship between the two does suffer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yes, I guess making people really afraid of a nuke and Ebola would lead them to take zinc. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I would say that InfoWars Life Plug really only solves one of the two problems that he's describing. | ||
| And in fact, I would argue the second one kind of wipes out the gains of the first, if you will. | ||
| So whatever gains we've lost shall now be recouped. | ||
| Because Alex has a guest. | ||
| And boy, howdy. | ||
| This guest. | ||
| Mic down for this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Because what this guest says... | ||
| Spoiler alert, it's Steve Pajanek. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What he says... | ||
| It's Stevie P? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Okay, did he cure himself of Ebola? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, damn it. | ||
| If we had a complete repeat of the present, that'd be brutal. | ||
| I was hoping. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be great. | ||
| No. | ||
| They do mention how, like, he had recently reported from the demilitarized zone for hours. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I recall that. | |
| Noted InfoWars correspondent, Steve Petrenic. | ||
| I recall that he was in Korea for a while. | ||
| He was in the shit. | ||
| So, Steve is on, and they're talking about Ebola, and he... | ||
| It directly contradicts something that he says in the present. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| You're also a medical doctor on top of that, so you can speak to Ebola. | ||
| Yes, correctly. | ||
| And more importantly, I was trained at Cornell University Medical College between 1964 and 1968 by a very competent infectious disease doctor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't say it. | |
| It was really the foremost infectious disease doctor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't do it. | |
| And you see him on television. | ||
| That is Anthony Fauci. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| Oh, goddammit. | ||
| Goddammit, Dan. | ||
| One, you're a witch, and two, Steve Pachenik is a monster. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, when he's coming on the show now, talks about how incompetent Fauci is. | |
| My fucking god. | ||
| I swear to you. | ||
| I hated him ever since I was at Cornell. | ||
| He's a loser. | ||
| This is the worst fucking news you could give me. | ||
| This is so brutal. | ||
| You know who's great? | ||
| Anthony Fauci. | ||
| Oh, it breaks my heart. | ||
| It really breaks my heart. | ||
| It's pretty remarkable to dig back a little bit and see, like, you know, this mirror, this echo is so... | ||
| Funhouse mirror is the only way I can describe it. | ||
| It's so bizarre. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I mean, listen, it's not that I believe the entire world is a prank on me, but when Steve says stuff like that, I'm just like, hey, you know what? | ||
| This isn't real. | ||
| So Steve thinks that... | ||
| The Ebola situation is pretty serious. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I would say that outside of it being hilarious that he likes Fauci now and then in the present claims to have always hated him or whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| But a lot of the stuff he's saying I really don't take much issue with. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's saying that this is serious and that Ebola is a very nasty disease and we have to do what we can to make sure that responsible steps are taken. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This isn't bullshit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But he does have a I would say possibly maybe not good plan of action. | ||
| And what I have recommended and repeatedly recommended is that Dr. Frieden of the CDC resign, that the CDC be placed on stand-down, because they really have no, they're not effective, they've been inefficient, and they have no authoritative capacity to demand either the city, the state, or any institution to do what's mandatory. | ||
| Instead, I think that Fauci, Dr. Tony Fauci, should be given executive privilege or executive authority by the President of the United States, consistent with 1892 constitutional authority on both military powers, if need be, because we no longer have the public health service, which is not functioning. | ||
| Yeah, so Fauci should be given executive control to use military resources to deal with the Ebola outbreak. | ||
| These people are just a joke. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I can't believe this. | ||
| This is one of those... | ||
| You know what's funny? | ||
| It's almost like... | ||
| It's almost like the Mandela effect. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| There are similarities. | ||
| It's almost like we're looking back into a past that didn't happen in the present. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| This is an alternate universe where... | ||
| But it actually helps me put some pieces together, because I always did think it was a little bit weird that at the beginning of the coronavirus situation, Alex was painting Fauci as a good guy. | ||
| And he said he made some calls and looked into him. | ||
| And hearing Steve talk about Fauci like this at this point makes me think, oh, Alex called Steve and Steve told him he's cool. | ||
| Steve was like, this is a good guy. | ||
| And then they got the lines from... | ||
| The right-wing media decided he's a villain. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| Maybe the biggest thing that happened that we need to go back and kind of analyze is the creation of the feedback loop between... | ||
| The right-wing propaganda creating Trump and then Trump echoing right-wing propaganda back at them. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know how you would ever... | ||
| I don't know where you would look for that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Kill all the baby Hitlers. | ||
| I think that's what we do. | ||
| I blame Drudge. | ||
| Yeah, I would do that too. | ||
| Let's just say it's Drudge. | ||
| It's Drudge's fault. | ||
| Fuck that guy. | ||
| So, Alex really wants... | ||
| This to be fake and a false flag. | ||
| And so I was listening to this part of the episode and it really felt like Alex was essentially begging Steve to be like, come on, help me out, man, please. | ||
| Doc, I mean, you believe Sandy Hook was staged. | ||
| More and more experts have come out and agreed. | ||
| The Boston bombing rigged so many other events. | ||
| 9-11, the open funding of ISIS, changing the name from Al-Qaeda. | ||
| All of this is coming out. | ||
| But when you look at this Ebola situation, I'm not saying it's not ravaging Africa. | ||
| I'm not saying it isn't living in the body longer before the symptoms show up, 21 days instead of three. | ||
| It's clearly mutating, getting stronger. | ||
| But I can't believe that this type of ineptitude to bring in Ebola patients, they never did that before, to let people fly in from West Africa, from ravaged areas when other countries had already banned it months ago, I mean, it appears that ineptitude wouldn't be this precise at doing everything they could to grease the skids for Ebola. | ||
| Are you getting any information on them allowing this to spread, to kind of bring in a medical tyranny, to create a political distraction? | ||
| Are there any motives for this to be a false flag? | ||
| No, not really, because number one, it is very hard to create an epidemic to create a false flag. | ||
| Newtown was a false flag because Eric Holder had funded a very dysfunctional governor and a dysfunctional town and a bunch of Connecticut state troopers who were just pathetic. | ||
| And it was easy to create. | ||
| That scenario was not. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, interesting answer. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Although this did make me think, here's what we should do. | ||
| We should call the right-wing terrorists all whiter. | ||
| I thought the one that was going around before was Y 'all Kaida. | ||
| Was that what it was? | ||
| That was something that I heard Alex yell about before. | ||
| I think I used to say White Kaida. | ||
| I think I remember that one. | ||
| I like all whiter. | ||
| I'll let you do a meme contest. | ||
| Look, dude, the thing that I think is really funny, beyond just Steve being like, Fauci is a great guy, he should have control over everything. | ||
| That's brutal. | ||
| Alex being a... | ||
| Over the top. | ||
| Give me something. | ||
| Give me any reason. | ||
| I mean, and blue sky thinking. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I'm begging. | ||
| I don't care what it is. | ||
| Give me even the slightest hint. | ||
| Is there a possible motive? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Give me the just money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just money. | |
| Just say money. | ||
| You could just say money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ugh. | |
| No. | ||
| Nah, you're an idiot. | ||
| The answer is even more illuminating, and that is that it's really difficult to create a fake epidemic. | ||
| People wouldn't do that. | ||
| It's not wise. | ||
| It would be a bad idea. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Very easy to get out of hand. | ||
| Millions of people could die. | ||
| Yeah, pretty much impossible to control. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Not a supervillain plan that would really work outside of a movie. | ||
| But the thing that I think is really interesting is that Alex is talking about all of these things in almost identical ways. | ||
| Medical tyranny, all this stuff. | ||
| He doesn't mention Lockstep at all. | ||
| Because he didn't know about that document. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He knew about it 20 years ago. | ||
| And it wasn't a document called Lockstep. | ||
| No, he found it back then. | ||
| It's been in there. | ||
| He pretends to have known about all this stuff. | ||
| And it's like, no, you didn't. | ||
| This wasn't part of your narratives then. | ||
| No one had shown you this. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Because it didn't exist. | ||
| No, it existed in 2010. | ||
| Oh, no, I mean in the right-wing sphere, is what I'm saying. | ||
| It hadn't been posted on a stupid blog yet, and people hadn't misrepresented what it was in a way that was profitable. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you just see it very clearly. | ||
| Like, he just didn't have the mana to do that attack at this point. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's kind of telling. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm just so bummed. | ||
| It's so easy. | ||
| His job, the right-wing propagandist's job is so easy. | ||
| You do the same shit every five years for five years and then restart. | ||
| Every time. | ||
| It's the same shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's so boring. | ||
| And God forbid, you know, Ebola would have spread more in the United States at this point. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I could easily see Alex going a very similar way. | |
| It's like, they're trying to lock down our businesses because they're afraid of this disease. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just don't have people cough on you or throw up. | |
| And the more effort the government puts into stopping it, the more he'd argue that that's what they're... | ||
| That's the reason that they released this on us to encroach on our civil liberties. | ||
| You can almost easily see how the playbook operates based on the incredible similar parallel. | ||
| Oh, maybe not. | ||
| No, no, I mean, that's what I'm saying. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| It's just, you can see it going down the same exact train of thought, no matter what time period it is, because it's the thought process itself that leads you to believe action towards aversion is actually causing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's the thought process itself, not like the circumstances. | |
| What changes is the circumstances... | ||
| Allow it to balloon out of control or it's contained. | ||
| Yeah, and it's deeply cynical and cruel, the way that Alex operates in this respect. | ||
| It really is a denial and disregard for the fact that there are people who are suffering and dealing with this. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And a rank disregard for the people who are listening who are probably scared and need information. | |
| They need to have conveyed accurate information that allows them to make appropriate decisions. | ||
| Like the emails that were sent out to the people who were on the plane after, even though there probably wasn't a reason to be worried. | ||
| That's appropriate. | ||
| You're giving the people the information that they need to be able to make appropriate decisions. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These listeners are tuning into Alex because they think that they're going to get some kind of insight that they're not going to get. | |
| Get their immune system ready with the products that he sells over at InfoWars.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And... | |
| As the world economy melts down, gold will go up, even as other commodities go down, because it's an ultimate store of wealth and a hedge against imploding economies, and it is up. | ||
| When I heard that bond markets had imploded and the stock market was down so much today, I thought, man, I bet gold goes down. | ||
| I said this aloud, but I said, or maybe it'll go up. | ||
| Because when I saw that oil was way down, I thought, I wonder. | ||
| But man, when I saw gold going up, that's pretty serious right there. | ||
| So the other thing is that there are economic impacts that are happening because of the Ebola situation. | ||
| There's some, like, airline stocks are going down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| There are impacts that are happening, and Alex is using that to funnel gold sales. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Gold started 2014 at $12.05.77 an ounce, peaking on June 30th at $1,327.39 an ounce. | ||
| On October 16th, the day this show was recorded, the price was $12.39, down almost $3 an ounce from the day before. | ||
| It would close the year at $1,184.31. | ||
| Nothing Alex says means anything. | ||
| His syndicator at this point is still a guy who owns a gold sales business. | ||
| So gold is super important to his worldview in 2014, and it's weird how it's so much less so now. | ||
| So, in order to talk about the bond markets falling apart and how gold is great, Alex brings in his financial buddy, Max Keiser. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Max Keiser, I will say, does not give a shit. | ||
| No. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| He is not taking this seriously at all. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| I was so close to Gary North, and then it's like all the other crazy stuff in my life. | ||
| Not Gary North, Gary Webb. | ||
| Gary North's another writer with Oliver North and Gary North. | ||
| And then I didn't break these big CIA drug dealing stories with him because I was just like, yeah, I already know all that. | ||
| Sure, come on the air. | ||
| Sure, sell your book. | ||
| Yeah, you're a hero. | ||
| Yeah, they're trying to destroy you, but why? | ||
| Why put out new documents? | ||
| Why put out a website with you, Gary Webb? | ||
| And then they killed him. | ||
| And then he attacked me for saying they killed him. | ||
| But the movie basically says they killed him. | ||
| You said he committed suicide. | ||
| They show they were threatening his wife, his kids, and that they kill him. | ||
| I just am speechless. | ||
| How powerful Kill the Messenger, the story about Gary Webb and his bullet surprise and all the rest of it is. | ||
| I mean, it's simply amazing how all his so-called friends turned against him when the mainstream media said he was a fraud with no proof. | ||
| Have you seen Kill the Messenger yet, Kaiser? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| Sounds good, though. | ||
| I just feel like I dropped the ball monumentally not working with him more and helping get his material out, man. | ||
| What do you think we're still alive? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're too pretty. | |
| You know, people, they don't want to kill off such beautiful examples of a human species. | ||
| It would just destroy their souls more. | ||
| Oh, come on. | ||
| Gary Webb had a beautiful soul. | ||
| Man, Max Geiser does not give a shit. | ||
| Wow, he is not. | ||
| He's not taking this seriously at all. | ||
| Yep, nope. | ||
| And I kind of, it's a breath of fresh air. | ||
| Yeah, I do like that. | ||
| I do like a little bit of, eh, fuck it. | ||
| You know, who gives a shit? | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Come on, we're too pretty. | ||
| Too pretty! | ||
| Their interview ends with Alex comes in from break and he's singing along with balls to the wall. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he's talking about how this is a pilot term. | ||
| Jamming the throttle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And then it's also about the Berlin Wall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And he's talking about how this is a protest song. | ||
| And a little bit later, Max Geiser's like, I gotta make a correction. | ||
| That's about going balls deep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
*laughter* | |
| It's actually a sincerely kind of funny moment. | ||
| And Alex, I think he knows that it's funny that he doesn't know how to play along with it. | ||
| He's like, this is a family show. | ||
| Max Keiser, oh, he's a dirty guy. | ||
| He can't do a two-man game. | ||
| He just can't do it. | ||
| He's a bad scene partner. | ||
| No, but again, it was this Max Keiser just kind of like he operates outside of the grifts that are going on because he's scamming and stuff, but I think he's so rich that he doesn't care. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the type of rich that... | ||
| He's got fuck you money. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I think that's... | ||
| Nobody... | ||
| You know, only insane people want to be billionaires. | ||
| I think everybody wants that point of just like, ugh, fuck these guys. | ||
| You know? | ||
| That's what you really want. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I can go on to Alex's show and perpetuate MaxCoin or whatever. | ||
| I can try and sell whatever thing that I'm doing and that can be fun. | ||
| But I don't need it. | ||
| I can also fuck with Alex. | ||
| Just a billionaire. | ||
| I also have a show on RT. | ||
| I don't need his platform either. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| But someone who does need Alex's platform very desperately. | ||
| All right, Ted Anderson joining us on short notice from California. | ||
| The owner of the GCN Radio Network. | ||
| He also is one of the biggest private gold dealers. | ||
| With a AAA rating from the Better Business Bureau, something you can't say of most other gold dealers out there. | ||
| This is where I've been buying my gold for 20 years, about 19 years. | ||
| He's been a sponsor for 19. I've worked in this time slot for 18 years. | ||
| I never wanted to go up against Rush Limbaugh. | ||
| Ted said, no, we're going to do it. | ||
| He's got a monopoly in cities and a lot of stations want to have a show to go up against it. | ||
| You're on here, not at night, if you want to work at this network. | ||
| So here I am, and funny enough, I'm now beating Rush Limbaugh in ratings wherever I'm put up against him, even on smaller stations. | ||
| Are you? | ||
| I highly doubt that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you think so? | |
| No. | ||
| Do you really think so? | ||
| I mean, like, yeah, some stations can't afford Rush's syndication rates. | ||
| And Alex's is free. | ||
| So, yeah, sure. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| I imagine so. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Ted's... | ||
| Ted's... | ||
| Just on to sell gold. | ||
| Alex is out here like, Ted, Ebola is causing problems. | ||
| We need you on quick to sell gold. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've been panicking people all day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But he's not on to pitch gold. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Now is the time. | ||
| And I didn't mean to even get him on to pitch gold with Midas. | ||
| But folks, if you wait until the fall where it historically goes up, if you wait until there is a big rush, it's already up, what, 20-something bucks today? | ||
| Can we pull that up for me, CNBC? | ||
| Now is the time, I believe, to get into gold and silver or at least get some of the books or financial prospectus documents that Midas Resources has. | ||
| And then like a year later, Ted would lose his license. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because he's a scamming thief. | ||
| Scammy guy. | ||
| He's a fraudster. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so, I mean, like, this is kind of the payoff, the prestige of the panic and the fear that Alex has been building throughout the episode with his hysterical nonsense. | ||
| He's talking about the bond markets falling apart. | ||
| That part with Max Keiser is a nice bridge to the interview with Ted Anderson in order to funnel people to give them the solution to the problem. | ||
| We've created this problem that is... | ||
| False flag, Ebola. | ||
| Nuclear strike. | ||
| You've got to retain your money somehow. | ||
| And the only way your assets are going to be safe is with this guy, Ted. | ||
| My buddy who I've been working with for 19 years. | ||
| Buy some bullion you've never seen and have him put it in a lockbox you don't know is real. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's safe. | |
| It's fine. | ||
| Yeah, so, I mean, I look back on this. | ||
| I mean, I don't care what Ted has to say. | ||
| It's just about gold. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| But, you know, looking back on this episode, it was shocking to me. | ||
| I mean, the reason that I chose it, like, honestly, had nothing to do with Ebola. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I didn't know that this episode was about Ebola. | ||
| I just saw Steve Pachanek's name. | ||
| You're a witch. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're a witch. | ||
| I was like, I got a fucking 2014 Steve Pachanek. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| Let's see what he's bringing to the table. | ||
| And I started listening to it. | ||
| Love Dr. Fauci is what he's bringing to the table. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's so bizarre. | |
| Fuck you. | ||
| It's so bizarre. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| I want to throw a tomato at Steve Pachanek because of this now. | ||
| You see the dark, twisted, distorted version of the narratives that are being sold in the present about coronavirus being applied to Ebola seven years prior just with completely different clothes. | ||
| Like, back then... | ||
| They could fuck around with crisis actor stuff because they hadn't been checked on that front. | ||
| And so Rob Dew thinks that maybe these people with Ebola are fake. | ||
| Anthony Fauci wasn't somebody that Trump got into a fight with. | ||
| And so he's a hero. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Steve studied under at Cornell and they're tight. | ||
| He should have control of the military apparatus to deal with Ebola. | ||
| I think it's fascinating. | ||
| It does strongly reinforce my theory that Alex is full of shit. | ||
| I would say that if not definitive proof, I would argue that the totality of our work is definitive proof. | ||
| This might be a good argument not to take him seriously. | ||
| Although, if you need further proof... | ||
| Go to Dr. Fauci. | ||
| Poop bandits. | ||
| Yes, poop bandits. | ||
| Poop bandits. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|

|
Oh boy. | |
| So I hope you had fun enjoying my wizardry. | ||
| I do. | ||
| I love when you bring witchcraft to the table, Dan. | ||
| I'm uncomfortable with how kind of regular an occurrence it is. | ||
| It is really kind of frustrating. | ||
| Again, Dan, everything is a prank on me. | ||
| I'm beginning to believe that thoroughly. | ||
| Well... | ||
| Here's Ashton Kutcher. | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| Coronavirus didn't happen. | ||
| Son of a bitch, Ashton! | ||
| That would be an elaborate plan. | ||
| Yeah, if I was the only one who actually quarantined this entire time, yeah, that would be interesting. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I don't think it's feasible. | ||
| Doubtful. | ||
| I did read a white paper. | ||
| I've seen a lot of false flags in the past. | ||
| Also, the other thing, before we get out of here that I was thinking about, that was, like, with Alex, like, you know, it's just a joke that he says, I have the documents. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, like, he's claiming that he has these documents from Gary Webb. | ||
| It's like, do you? | ||
| Or are they lost? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or did they ever exist? | ||
| So anytime that he says he has the documents, it might be just some CD-ROM that may or may not exist in a warehouse somewhere that he has no fucking idea. | ||
| It should be protected like the Holy Grail. | ||
| You would think that that would be so... | ||
| Fastidiously organized. | ||
| Seeing as how it's proof of all the conspiracies that have ever been. | ||
| Well, maybe not proof of all of them, but at least the building block that would get you to where something is solidly proven that you can maybe build from. | ||
| And I think that would be really important for him because... | ||
| As far as I can tell, from the bedrock of so many of these conspiracies, the primary sources that you go back to, they just don't hold up. | ||
| So if he did have these secret classified documents, you would never... | ||
| You'd put that... | ||
| You'd fucking handcuff it to your wrist. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's ridiculous to imagine that you wouldn't. | ||
| No, absolutely. | ||
| Especially after Gary Webb dies. | ||
| In the episode that we did not record, I played this clip for you. | ||
| The two guys that we were talking about watched a 20-minute conspiracy theory video, and I only played you one clip from it, and it was the guy narrating it saying, About a month ago, I lost all of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My computer crashed. | |
| And it's like, oh, fuck off! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There is a certain irony to us complaining about this when we're only recording this episode because of a tech glitch. | ||
| Although we didn't prove anything in that episode. | ||
| No, I think that was more an observation. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was just some laughs we had that will never be had publicly. | ||
| Anyway, Jordan, this has been fun. | ||
| This has been fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm sorry that your episode got lost. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, we'll be okay. | |
| We'll let you take the wheel again here in the near future. | ||
| Sometime soon. | ||
| I'm sure you can find something we can go over. | ||
| Anyway, but for now, let's end this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let's travel back to the present. | ||
| All right, all right. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| But until then, Jordan, we have a website. | ||
| We do have a website. | ||
| It's thanks to Mr. Peabody for bringing us back to the present.com. | ||
| We're also on Twitter. | ||
| We are on Twitter. | ||
| It's at knowledge underscore fight. | ||
